After Fleshbot comes... Wonkette

Nick Denton's just unveiled the latest weblog project out of his Gawker stable. Coming only a couple of months after he unveiled his Fleshbot porn blog, you could argue Wonkette takes the pro-blog concept right into the gutter, devoted as it is to the seedy world of US politics. It's being written by Ana Marie Cox who, Nick reminds us, "used to write Suck, the nastiest thing to come out of Wired Digital." I seem to recall that, even at the time, it was also easily the best thing coming out of Wired Digital. If her new blog is even halfway as compelling, we'll all be in for a treat.
